You are certainly right that there are some parts of the process that could be simplified and streamlined without sacrificing quality, and that capital would help in such situations. <BR/><BR/>Best,<BR/><BR/>AlanPatric Chocolatehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11746946543292436980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1584888951419776675.post-51367109972439500382008-11-16T14:46:00.000-08:002008-11-16T14:46:00.000-08:00Sounds like some capital would really help you streamline some parts of the operation (though it also sounds like you secretly enjoy the tedious parts).

And his chocolate wonderful- among the best choc. I've tasted so far...better than Ghiradelli's 60% cacao chips, way better than Trader Joe's... It's as rich and fruity as the chocolate I used to get from my fav. organic chocolate shop in St. Augustine, Fl... I hope to see a Patric shop in Stl someday. Good chocolate is something I save up for. It just makes things better...well.imhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05387965422219358697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1584888951419776675.post-41855663053677309222008-11-12T12:20:00.000-08:002008-11-12T12:20:00.000-08:00Thank you for this wonderful tour. It makes so much sense to educate your buyers. I will definitly archive this information to share with my patrons when I sell Patric Chocolate in our tasting room. Patric chocolate is one for people who want something different, special, and more interesting than the average. Thanks again for educating us.<BR/><BR/>MargotMargotnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1584888951419776675.post-68354869550189050672008-11-12T11:32:00.000-08:002008-11-12T11:32:00.000-08:00What a fascinating look at the craft of chocolate making.
